Nutrition Starts in the Gut

The gastrointestinal system (the gut) includes the stomach, small & large intestines. The gut digests and assimilates nutrients from food and excretes resultant wastes. This process enables dogs and cats to absorb required nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals from the food. Secondly, the gut is involved in excretion of resultant waste products.

In a healthy gut, there needs to be a balance between the resident “friendly” (beneficial bacteria) and harmful bacteria (collectively called the Microbiome). If this balance is upset and unfriendly bacteria increase, it could lead to disease of the GI tract. In addition, a good level of friendly microbes helps the body rid itself of toxins, allergens and other substances that cause disease, through normal elimination.  A healthy microbiome is essential for a strong immune system and the overall goal for health and longevity.

What Causes Gut Imbalances?

Many dogs and cats eat over-processed foods. Many kibble foods can be high in carbohydrates and low in enzymes and vital nutrients that are damaged by the heat and the pressure of manufacturing. Add pesticides found in chemical flea and tick products, air or water pollutants, and other 21st century stressors, and it’s no wonder our dogs and cats are adversely affected.

Dr. Bob Goldstein believes the most important factor in your animal’s health is a healthy diet. This is why he created Wisdom Air-Dried food which is a complete and balanced diet for all life stages. Wisdom foods are filled with organ meat, sustainable humanely raised proteins, vitamins, minerals, fruits and vegetables. We believe Wisdom is truly a nutritional win-win for dogs.

How Can You Improve Your Dog’s Gut Health?

The ingredients in Wisdom Air-Dried dog food are targeted to support a healthy digestive and immune system. We also suggest adding Healthy Digestion Daily Supplement to each meal for extra gut health.

An estimated 70% of your dog’s immune system lives in the microbiome. An imbalance of healthy beneficial microbes in a dog or cat’s body can lead to a variety of common conditions. Microbiome imbalances can lead to skin & coat issues (allergies & itching), food sensitivities, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, joint Issues (pain), dental problems (bad breath & gum issues), and organ issues such as of the liver, pancreas, lungs and kidneys.

What are Probiotics for Dogs?

Probiotics are friendly bacteria. Healthy dogs have billions of bacteria to help fight infections, make the immune system stronger, help digest food, and make vitamins and nutrients. Weakened dogs and cats are out of balance and have excessive amounts of unfriendly bacteria. We made it simple for you, just add Healthy Digestion Daily Supplement:

Earth Animal’s Healthy Digestion Daily Supplement is an active blend of herbs, vitamins, nutrients, fiber, enzymes, and probiotics that support proper digestion, bowel health and a healthy microbiome. Healthy Digestion helps maintain healthy gut flora, pH and supports normal GI function. Simply add to the food daily to help support the entire digestive system.

By prioritizing gut health through a nutrient-rich diet and beneficial probiotics, you can help your dog thrive from the inside out—because a happy, healthy gut is the foundation for a long, vibrant life.
